This is the platonic ideal of a safe teen rom-com—sweet, diverse, funny, and genuinely watchable without making parents cringe or worry. It's not going to teach your kid calculus, but it models healthy family relationships, cultural pride, and the messy vulnerability of first love in ways that feel authentic.
The 2018 release means it's recent enough to feel current to modern tweens/teens (unlike, say, trying to get them to watch 16 Candles with its deeply problematic vibes). It sparked a whole Netflix teen rom-com renaissance for good reason.
If you've got a tween or teen interested in romance stories, this is about as wholesome as it gets while still being entertaining. The worst thing your kid will want after watching is to bake Korean yogurt smoothies and maybe organize their old journals—which, honestly, could be worse.
